Seems like they're going back to the Demon's Souls system of item healing.

No, doesn't seems like it. Look carefully, the healing items are capped at 20, just like estus. Although healing animation is much faster. Maybe it's one of those divine blessing type of healing items.

I've noted two healing items by the item name. Unless they have a different system.

Oh God... I can imagine a Souls game with Anime hair... Fluttering in the breeze... always in your face but never obscures your vision... Next, one of the light armor sets will be a school girl uniform. And there will be a horrific squid monster who has a grab attack that looks oddly like a... OH GOD MY EYES!!

Just bought this game on the xbox, its a lot of fun shame most of the fun gets killed by insane fps drops in certain areas :/

I also feel like i picked the wrong class (knight) since its really hard to dodge the crazy boss hits
but its a lot of fun definetly worth the 200SEK i payed for it

Class doesn't really have a lot of bearing on the gameplay. Sounds like you're wearing too heavy armor and weapons for the amount of endurance you have. Get a ring of favor and protection (fap ring) or havels ring and pump your endurance up some more. You'll be able to dodge a lot more effectively.

(SOME SMALL SPOILERS)

If you started as a knight, I'd advise taking off some of your armor to get "fast roll". After you kill the gargoyles and head to undead burg you can get the thief/black leather set in one of the rooms, you can wear that for a while. Also, if you save Lautrec, kill him when he gets back to firelink shrine, exit out of the game (via quit option) and reload, wherever he fell off/died will give you the ring of favor and protection (gives 20+ bonus to stamina, health, and equip load, one of the best rings in game, but breaks if you take it off, but you really never should have to) (NOTE: this does prevent a future, more difficult optional encounter with him later in game that results in his armor as well, but it's crappy so it's not a big deal)

You wanna pump most of your early points into endurance to get your stam and equip load up and probably get to about 16-18 str and a few in vitality.
